The food was delicious! We had the calamari, clam chowder, and lobster tails. The waiters were professional and kind. We were the last table of the night and we were not rushed out or felt uncomfortable. The restaurant ambiance is perfect for a date night.

Really nice place, you can see by the pictures that several famous people have eaten here.

We got the crab cakes, which was great, & a lobster tail. We also tried the pizza, which was pretty good. The kids enjoyed the fish & chips.

The staff was also very accommodating to our requests.

We were seated at a really nice spot with a view of the beach and seals, servers were professional and polite. Food was great too, especially the chowder. However, my issue lies with the pasta fina, I expected the sauce to be much thicker, it was much too watery for my liking, the sauce just didnt stick to the pasta and it tasted quite bland. The price of this place though expensive, is very reasonable and slightly cheaper than others at this tourist hotspot.

By far, this is the best seafood restaurant in Monterey! We come here often and enjoy our meal every time. Fish & chips with a cup of the best clam chowder you’ll find anywhere is our usual choice, but the shrimp & crab ravioli is also excellent! Everything is served fresh and with care. Besides the food and great atmosphere, the service is outstanding. Special cudos to Roxanne! Her wit and charm as she’s serving us makes our experience there even better!

Easily one of the worst meals I’ve had in a long time. The paella tasted off, the shrimp pasta was obliterated into bits and had no flavor, and even the bread was bland. The server was kind and did their best, but the walls were covered in flies, which said enough about the place. When we gave honest feedback, the owner came out immediately defensive, questioning where we were from as if that explained our opinion. He mentioned studying in Spain decades ago, but based on the food, that experience hasn’t stuck. He refused to comp the paella and claimed to comp the shrimp, though all he actually did was take 30% off the bill.

4.3. The fried calamari was fresh and delicious. Crab cakes were ok. Pistachio pesto shrimp pasta was good with al dente noodles but a bit expensive. I liked the Italian bread with butter and the Prosecco with pomegranate drink. The inside was pretty small facing the water but we sat on the patio and watched the tourists. Service was good. Lunch was over $100 for what I listed. Good but not amazing for the price.

My wife and I went to Cafe Fina to celebrate ) my birthday. Although we are local, we had not eaten on the Fisherman’s Wharf before. Cafe Fina had good reviews, and we like both Italian food and fish, so we gave it a chance. We had a great meal. Our server Leonard (I think, it was an “L”) was friendly and gave good advice about the menu. We decided to share two appetizers and a main dish. Leonard made it easy for us to share, bringing extra plates and utensils. I had a cupl of clam chowder which was thick and creamy and very tasty. My wife ordered crab cakes had got two large delicious cakes. Our main was the house special petrale sole which was a great piece of fish that was perfectly cooked with a light crust and a delicate cream sauce. It included wonderfully sautéed vegetables and light orzo pasta. It was plenty for the two of us after the appetizers. The wharf has the feel of a state fair, with a lot of people, lights and noise, but inside the restaurant it was quiet and attractive and easy to talk to each other. The desserts looked good, but we were full and happy so we will have to review them another time. Overall, we had a really high quality meal and experience at Cafe Fina.

Perfect date spot right on the Monterey Old Fisherman’s Wharf. Enjoy breathtaking views while having fresh seafood. You will be served with freshly baked bread and herb butter. We had dinner and got a cup of clam chowder which was very tasty and creamy. I wanted to try paella and they had a good variety of that. We got the traditional paella which comes with shrimps, clams, mussels, calamari, chicken and sausage on a bed of tomato based rice. Good portion size for two people.

Same as a review below, we were recommended to this restaurant by a whale watch captain.

The worst oysters I’ve had in my life, not fresh AT ALL, taste slimy and very weird.

Restaurant has small flies everywhere.
